The water meadow is a haven for butterflies, wild flowers and even beavers.
an idyllic woodland venue hidden away
The Wilderness is set on a 200 acre eco-farm in east Kent. Anna’s parents Michael and Lorna began a re-wilding and sustainability project here nearly thirty years ago. There are lots of rare wild birds, beavers & butterflies.
''our guests said that our wilderness wedding had redefined modern weddings for them now.''
The Wilderness is full of wonder with its endless skies and dreamy sunsets, it will make your soul soar. We want you to relax and feel at home here. We encourage the unconventional.
We are 56 mins on the fast train from London St Pancras to Canterbury West, and then a 17 min hop in a taxi to us.

Meet the family
A family owned & run events venue
We started opening up the barns and gardens of Preston Court Farm for weddings and events in 2008 and this was met with an overwhelmingly good response. Being a very rare, family owned and run wedding venue we have complete dedication to the farm and take huge pride in each and every wedding.
